Bai Lu fell on my radar a few years ago with King is Not Easy and I was instantly taken with her charming smile and bubbly persona. I have thirsted after Leo Luo ever since My Sunshine came out, and desperately checked his drama list often in the hope that he'd eventually lead a drama. The day is here and I cannot be happier that it's with Bai Lu. Both of them manage to produce such natural chemistry with their co-stars, and this time was no different- if I'm giving this drama an 8, it's purely, PURELY, because of them. It's so rare, but they actually acted like legit couples in that they were affectionate and touchy-feely. Very often drama couples continue to be so shy around each other even after dating for a while, which is ridiculously unrealistic and boring. Thank god there is none of that here!

Because the drama itself? Mediocre. I really didn't care about the secondary characters, and I skipped nearly all their scenes. It still annoys me that they relegated someone as talented and cute as Riley Wang to just a love interest for the female lead's best friend. The second male lead was annoying at best, but honestly, I hate what they did to him by the end. I wasn't his biggest fan by any means, but was it really necessary to turn him into the corrupt village creep? Honestly, I found myself wishing they ended the show at 30 episodes, it seemed like a decent way to end with everyone coming out better and grown. I am happy that we got more time with Jiang Jun and Yuan Shuai, but the way they twisted Du Lei's character was so unnecessary.

Also, the women in this drama were dressed SO bad. Honest to God, everything they wore was absolutely terrible. The men, comparatively, were dressed incredibly well, which made the contrast even worse. It became marginally better towards the end, and by marginally, I mean they finally removed that ugly-ass oversized check jacket and boyfriend jeans off Bai Lu. That alone made a world of difference.
